All of these rifles are SMGs, as close-range combat requires high fire rate and ease of handling. Even beginners can perform well with SMGs, and if your RedSec playstyle is based on fast attacks and mobility, this weapon type will fit you perfectly.

Best Sniper Rifles

To play effectively with sniper rifles, you need specific skills. This weapon type works best if you take high-ground positions on the map and can make accurate long-range shots.
